Thirty Things About Me



I wanted to mix things up a bit today and get away from the gift guides and the shopping round-ups. I've been trying to post this for a while and just lost interest a couple of times and finally decided that it wasn't worth posting. So it sat in my drafts. For months. Then, like I usually do when it comes to being torn about whether or not to hit publish on a post, I thought about how much I love it when other bloggers share posts like this about themselves.

I turned thirty way back in January and to say that 2017 has had it's ups and downs would be an understatement. I know we all joke about being ready for this year to be over, but personally, this year could not see itself to the door fast enough. It's been rough, y'all. I know that what's happened this year is part of my testimony and God is not going to let me out of sharing it. And I want to do that here on the blog with the hopes of reaching as many people as I can.

For today, though, I want to share thirty things about me that (hopefully) will be new information, things I've never really talked about here, and shed some light on who I (really) am. I wanted to share things that would be interesting whether you've been reading my blog for years or just stumbled upon my page from a pinterest link today.

I hope you enjoy! And if you're a blogger, I encourage you to write a post like this yourself. I found that it was therapeutic, brought about some introspection, and made me feel good about the person that I am. Have a wonderful day, friends!
